Well, it was very interesting week for tennis traders I think. Some very strange outcomes and some very "strange" matches. I could not trade every day but managed to trade some of evenings games. One of them was Fognini-Bellucci in Santiago. And what a match it was ! Very hmm....how to say....."friendly for traders" if you know what I mean. On the left you see my screenshot from this match and now a few words about this game.

1st set...Fognini not motivated (?) at all, not focused, not interested to do anything on the court..or maybe just trying to lose 1st set as quick as possible LOL

Sorry, maybe I am too hard but I couldn't stop thinking this way. So Bellucci wins set 6-1. 2nd set is another story, now is time for Belluci to do the same and 2nd set to Fabio, 6-2. Third set is one way traffic, Fognini 4-0 and now Bellucci decided to play tennis again or should I say Fabio decided to make it more "interesting and profitable" :) LOL Fognini from 4-0 to 4-1 to 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, 4-5, 5-5 and 6-6, tiebreak, 7-0 to Fognini and GSM. From screenshot you see what I mean by "friendly for traders" ;) Both players traded below 1.10 before deciding tiebreak.

During this week Pinnacle removed some of ATP tennis matches after some strange price movements...as I said in my previous post. Here is another one, Giraldo-Chela


Final result was, Giraldo-Chela 6-4, 6-3.............

It is an advice to new tennis traders, beware of backing some tennis players at very low odds just when you think the game is over....it's not that easy  ;)

Good luck ! ;)


Upppsssss.....I forgot to say, IT'S SUPER BOWL TIME ! ;) wake up all traders 

What a day it was, very long trading session, about 8 hours I think with some short breaks between games and when play was delayed due to rain. I found trading tennis today very easy until Cilic-Greul. In fact this match shouldn't be a problem but maybe I was too tired or maybe....maybe nice profit from games before raised my confidence to a level where I was too confident, used too big stakes and went against the market at some times. Anyway, I was in BIG trouble when Greul won 1st set tiebreak. I tried cut my loss, placed some risky bets on Cilic with hope he still will be fighting to the end. I was in heaven when Marin took a chance and won 2 of 4 break points in 2nd set. Odds moved enough to hedge for a profit of £42....(Cilic won, 6-7, 6-2, 7-5)

I know £42 is no big money but on a day like this such profit feels like £420...ohh....maybe you know what I mean ;)

Today's trading started with Garcia Lopez-Tavares...very easy match, no sweat at all... (Garcia Lopez won, 6-2,6-2) LOL Next on court in Roma, Maria Jose against Safarova. Like yesterday, Maria did her job very well and won in 2 sets, it wasn't easy. Safarova was fighting to the end but Martinez Sanchez is a great clay court player and still in form.

Todays biggest disappointment was Venus Williams against Jankovic (Jankovic won, 6-0,6-1). Good for me, my best result is from this match. At the same time in Belgrade, Novak Djokovic was fighting with himself and his opponent, Fognini. Novak was in command from the start, matched at very low odds ..... and broken back, time after time :) From screen shot you can see Djokovic was broken 4/6 times. There is no big difference in total points won but I would still say it was Novak in total control.(6-4,6-4)

As usual, some screenshots below...


Total result.....as in title, it was one of my happy days....thanx to Cilic for a good fight ;)
